how, indeed
- Comment on YSK about SearXNG - an open metasearch engine 4 days ago:
Works fine for me as well. Using public instances can be hit or miss. I just installed it locally, which I get is not possible for many, but it does work. Try lesser known instances.

The only real usability issue I’ve had is auto cataloging. It isnt right much of the time. But I don’t have any remote users that don’t have network access so that simplifies things a whole lot.

Yeah hell to the naww. They’re also probably tracking all your viewing habits and monetizing that data, they’d be foolish not to with that kind of access.

You are entirely entitled to do whatever you want, but for me I go into a towering rage when something I own is taken over for someone else’s ads.

I never checked to see what was actually in the logs but when i was running Plex, it constantly tried to send a lot of log data to its masters. That alone was enough to budge me up and get Jellyfin. Jellyfin isn’t as polished but it works perfectly fine for me.

Don’t know all the answers but the home screen has the “Recently Added” rows if you scroll down.

- Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 1 week ago:
FX-8350 and 1070. But I got 32GB of DDR3…I think, I don’t even remember what I put in here in 2016

Oh maybe I’m wrong. At any rate it beats colon cancer

Its 40 now for colonoscopy. Incidences of colon cancer are trending younger and younger.
- Comment on Unremovable Spyware on Samsung Devices Comes Pre-installed on Galaxy Series Devices 2 weeks ago:
Then I have to carry two devices. I just have a custom phone and a stock tablet, this works out ok. Except the stock tablet is a Samsung and the software is super annoying

How about intune?
- Comment on The 'just one more service' pipeline has claimed another victim: my entire weekend. What was your gateway drug into self-hosting EVERYTHING? 2 weeks ago:
So you’ll do this add all the services thing, then transition to refining the quality. Hosting email, then working on spam prevention and webmail. Setting up Jellyfin, then getting live TV recording working. Increasing security on the above with fail2ban, VPN, VLANs, virtualization, let the currents of self hosting carry you where they may

Btrfs makes it really easy to enlarge a partition. You don’t even have to reboot.
- Comment on xkcd #3163: Repair Video 4 weeks ago:
I was trying to fix an old Dell Digital Jukebox and was saved by a random internet comment with a link to the firmware files the commenter had dug up. There’s this concept called net utility - that dude definitely increased the net utility in the world, even if infitesimally

Joke’s on them, mine hasn’t been connected since about 2018. Works very well as just a thermostat

Agree, backblaze has been great

Seriously everyone pushes Immich so hard I’m a little suspicious of it now :D
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 4 weeks ago:
Yeah i guess the hardware is the variable factor. My stuff is pretty old, so maybe it is better-supported.
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 4 weeks ago:
Ive got a 1070 and the nvidia drivers work fine. They are pretty good about updating along with Tumbleweed updates. Other stuff around is Intel.
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 4 weeks ago:
I seriously can’t imagine what could be going on here. I’ve got opensuse, debian, and mint in the household for non-savvy people and it all just works. I have a rare problem with a Tumbleweed update, like twice a year. Printing, wifi, everything. It is way more stable than my Enterprise-managed Windows 11 machine. So I am seriously curious what problems people are having.

A HDHomerun and Jellyfin. You have to subscribe to SchedulesDirect though for the listings.

Those little FM transmitter things are better than nothing.

If you want a package, look to your distro’s package manager. There isn’t a mirror for nextcloud binaries.

I’m running OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Works great.
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday! What's up? 1 month ago:
Updated to OpenSuSE Leap 16.0 with the autotool and it broke some things, but nothing terrible. Had to fix network config and add back Packman for ffmpeg for Jellyfin to work but that was about it
